BESS + Rooftop Solar + Controls

Located in Granbury, Texas, Shottenkirk Toyota of Granbury partnered with Power One Energy to implement an integrated onsite energy solution designed to reduce operating costs, improve energy resilience, and modernize facility energy management. The project combined battery energy storage, rooftop solar generation, and intelligent controls into a unified energy platform tailored for dealership operations.

THE PROBLEM

Energy Demand Through the Roof

The dealership required a scalable energy infrastructure solution capable of supporting the high electrical demands associated with modern automotive retail facilities, including showroom operations, service departments, lighting, HVAC systems, and increasing EV-related energy consumption.

This integrated approach enables the dealership to actively manage energy usage, reduce exposure to utility demand charges, and optimize onsite renewable generation.

Power One Energy deployed a fully integrated system consisting of:

 

System Component Specification
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 261 kWh
Rooftop Solar PV System 201 kW
Intelligent Controls Platform Elexity Navigator Pro

THE SOLUTION

A Fully Integrated System

This integrated approach enables the dealership to actively manage energy usage, reduce exposure to utility demand charges, and optimize onsite renewable generation.

BESS System

The 261 kWh battery energy storage system provides flexible onsite energy capacity that can be utilized during peak demand periods, utility interruptions, or high-cost billing windows. By shifting energy usage away from expensive peak periods, the dealership can improve operational efficiency while increasing energy resilience.

Key benefits include:

  • Peak demand reduction
  • Backup power support capabilities
  • Improved load balancing
  • Enhanced energy flexibility

Rooftop Solar Generation

The 201 kW rooftop solar array allows the facility to generate clean energy directly onsite, offsetting a significant portion of daytime electricity consumption.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced grid dependency
  • Lower long-term utility costs
  • Improved sustainability performance
  • Utilization of existing rooftop infrastructure

Intelligent Controls — Elexity Navigator Pro

The project incorporates Elexity Navigator Pro controls technology to intelligently coordinate battery storage, solar production, and facility energy loads in real time.

The controls platform continuously analyzes facility demand patterns and utility pricing conditions to optimize system performance automatically.

Benefits include:

  • Real-time energy optimization
  • Automated peak shaving
  • Solar production coordination
  • Load management intelligence
  • Operational visibility and analytics

THE IMPACT

No Downtime. More Profits.

The combined energy platform positions Shottenkirk Toyota of Granbury to better manage rising energy costs while supporting long-term operational sustainability goals.

Expected operational outcomes include:

  • Lower utility demand charges
  • Increased energy resilience
  • Reduced operating expenses
  • Improved facility sustainability
  • Smarter energy utilization across dealership operations

The deployment also establishes a scalable foundation for future electrification initiatives and evolving dealership energy requirements.
